Powered via 9V battery (included) or optional AC power not supplied (BOSS PSA-230 or PSB-230)
Dimensions WxHxD: 7.3 x 5.9 x 12.9 cm
Weight: 390 gr
UTILIZATION
We can not be simpler. The case is very durable.
Think about the environment. Avoid batteries and focus on the sector.
SOUND QUALITY
You think it sounds "cool" but not at all. Connected with my Telecaster and my Hot Rod Deluxe it sounds nickel. Ideal for blues and rock and even grunge.
After I do not know any brands but this one is very good. Of course you can always do better but for the price it is nickel.
Artists, groups using this effects pedal: Nirvana, RHCP ...
The +: The ability to connect a switch, external footswitch, the FS-5L. History can diversify a sound. To go from blues to rock. Or if you prefer to spend a good solo arpeggio much tinsel.
The -: I admit that I use a little less since I have my Big Muff. But if anything to say on the pedal itself. Except maybe the color a bit bland, but it's detail.
OVERALL OPINION
This is the first pedal I bought. Already 10 years ago and I do not think I ever sell. It's like a Swiss army knife for me. Even on the amps archi naz on which one plays when you start it sounded more rock already. Store and carry it with you when you do not help the distortion of the amplifier or other. In addition to the Cygnus can find cheap. Ideal for beginners.
